Worth weighing
4 to weigh- No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a pet, this isn't the place – the hostel has a strict no-pets policy.
- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only from 13:00 to 23:59, so if your flight arrives late at night, you may need to plan for an alternative.
- Potential noise from social areas — With karaoke, live entertainment, and a night club on site, the hostel can be loud – not ideal for light sleepers unless you book a soundproofed room.
- No parking listed — If you plan to drive, note that the hostel doesn't list parking facilities, so you'll need to find street parking or use other transport.
